This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Don't break me, I bruise easily
The source of both your love and misery
I am steady, beating endlessly
While you are dozing, dreaming pretty things
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My efforts leave me but flow back swiftly
My rhythm, soothing, like raindrops steady
On foggy windows when you gaze outwardly
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
This is a message from your heart
Everytime you sleep (Bam bam bam bam)
Everytime you eat (Bam bam bam bam)
Everytime you laugh (This is a message from your heart)
(Your most devoted body part)
(Taking blood and making art)
Everytime you cry (This is a message from your heart)
(Pounding away into the dark)
(You could thank me for a start)
Everytime you love (This is a message from your heart)
(This is a message from your heart)
This is a message from your heart
The source of both your love and misery
I am steady, beating endlessly
While you are dozing, dreaming pretty things
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My efforts leave me but flow back swiftly
My rhythm, soothing, like raindrops steady
On foggy windows when you gaze outwardly
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart
This is a message from your heart
Everytime you sleep (Bam bam bam bam)
Everytime you eat (Bam bam bam bam)
Everytime you laugh (This is a message from your heart)
(Your most devoted body part)
(Taking blood and making art)
Everytime you cry (This is a message from your heart)
(Pounding away into the dark)
(You could thank me for a start)
Everytime you love (This is a message from your heart)
(This is a message from your heart)
This is a message from your heart

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

Incredible talent.
